Show Notes

This week Chris Ryan joins us to discuss the first Sub Pop band East of the Mississippi, the Afghan Whigs. Afghan Whigs are a band that has always been exactly themselves, fronted by an iconoclast who approaches putting together albums like he's making a movie. A dark, f*cked up movie. From their Cincinnati roots to leaving a crater in Memphis partying with Primal Scream, to their breakup, reformation and excellent latest album, we track the story of the Afghan Whigs to unpack what makes this singular band work.
